Warpath Goes Epic BUT Mantic Games NEED You! Could It Tackle Legions Imperialis? #OTTWeekender
August 4, 2023 by avernos
It's OTT Weekender time! Mantic Games have announced that they are making Warpath at an epic scale but they need your help in trying to make it a reality. How should they approach bringing their epic Sci-Fi wargame to the tabletop? You can have your say and tell us if you think it could best Games Workshop's Legions Imperialis!
With various routes for them to explore including Kickstarter, 3D Printing OR a full plastic release, could this be the epic-scale game people have been looking for? With options for lots of alien factions from the Warpath universe to hand, there is a lot to like about Mantic's plans.

Go epic or be doomed!
Yay Weekender time starts NOW.
What about Dragonbane Gerry??, you got cut off…i know Warren/warzan did it because he wanted them LOKI map books for himself didnt he…
should be able to see it now 😉
I bet theirs a few gaswiegen birds could have that gun ?
Is he a relative Gerry ?
It’s strange that GW are bringing EPIC scale back to the tables did they get a hint of mantic an try and steal their thunder ?
And there I was and all stopped. Would someone get a bolted tm and shoot the germlin tm.
If mantic do go 15mm there will be plenty of other manufacturers out there to help individualise armies
Yay Weekender is back charged with MIA.?
Love the new map just out.
Nice one chaps.
Excellent. Viewing time.
Heresy era games suck – plenty of players who aren’t bothered with
a. The setting and/or
b. The limited number of factions being just different coloured humans
Added to this is GWs dismal record when it comes to supporting these games.
An epic warpath will find its audience, I don’t care what path the use although I’d prefer physical releases as I’d end up having to print the minis for anyone I want to play this with.
Good Weekender for sure
Great show as always. I did enjoy the Epic HH debate. I did not read anywhere that Warpath was going 15mm. This changes my opinion a bit. Instead of going fully digital, Mantic should go on Kickstarter imho.
So much plastic goodness. Crisis Protocol, Firefight, and 02 Hundred hours. Gencon announcements will probably face melt me.
Continuously coming for my butthole you say? I’m told my copy is on its way today, I await with bated breath!
Having decided I CBA with New Epic, yet Little Warpath is much more appealing.
Yes. Manic should try a Kickstarter for 15mm Warpath.
I still have a lot of the 15mm Halo miniatures.
Hope to get to use those for Warpath as well then.
I would love to play the GCPS.
Hope they make some more cool vehicles for them then.
Everything Crisis Protocol looks amazing but man, I love me some Spidey and his amazing friends and his rogues. I’ve not even started the Mutants but they just keep expanding! 😀
